“Pathfindering” conjures up images of marching, camping, curious hobbies, bugs and bats.  Enlarging their windows on the world and building a relationship with God are the dual objectives of this club, which is designed for children ages 10-15.  With nearly 2 million members around the world, this Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored club accepts any youth who promises to abide by the Pathfinder Pledge and Law regardless of their church affiliation.

LEADERSHIP

The volunteer leadership, skilled in a myriad of unusual abilities and interests are, first and foremost, strong believers in Jesus Christ and are sure of the road they are taking towards eternal life.  Pathfinders learn how to integrate leadership skills from their leaders as well as fellow pathfinders around the world.   All activities pathfinders are a part of becomes a tool for learning and growing to become leaders of our church.  

ACTIVITIES

The imagination of its leadership and members are the primary limiting factors of a club's abilities.  Activities encourage a range from community/civic service projects in their community and across the globe to nature and environmental conservation studies to camping and high adventure trips.  Pathfindering challenges the unique talents of each member. Pathfindering is built on an age-specific curriculum of six levels along with approximately 350 specialized skill development topics covering arts and crafts, aquatics, nature, household arts, recreation, spiritual development, health, and vocational training.  These often serve as a launching point for lifetime careers or hobbies.
